Is powder still in short supply? I haven't had to buy it in a while.


I bought 2 pound of Power Pistol at Cabela's about a month ago.

You're gonna be seeing the most common powders.

Pistol: Power Pistol, Red Dot, Blue Dot, Unique, W281, etc.

Small Rifle: BLC2, Varget, RL15, etc.

Large Rifle: RL22, H4831, RL17, etc.

But there is still short supply. That day they had gotten 7 pounds of PP and I was lucky enough to get 2 when there were only 3 on the shelf.

I would order them on websites but they never have enough inventory to justify the $25 hazmat fee.

Now primers, they are finally readily available. Cabela's has 100s of 1000s of those.

Thanks again for all the help.

Main reason I want to start reloading was the transition to 300BO. Only way I can justify buying into that caliber is if I'm reloading it.

I probably shoot roughly 500 rounds every 2 month or so, but should be getting some property close by that'll help that number increase

Im also interested in making a few different loads to see how performance is affected by certain variables. I'm an engineer so I like the technical stuff haha.
